Artemis II: Why Artemis II astronauts lost contact with Earth for 40 minutes during its Moon mission |

For much of their time in space, astronauts are connected to the Earth via an invisible network of communications: voices, information, and continuous assurances from Mission Control. However, for NASA’s Artemis II mission, there is a defining point at which all such connections disappear. The astronauts inside the Orion capsule were silent for approximately 40…

Scientists discovered at least 11 new species in Cambodia’s rocky ecosystems |

After years of extensive biological research, scientists identified at least 11 species new to science occupying the ruggedly divided limestone formations of the Battambang and Stung Treng regions in Cambodia. The researchers describe these remote, isolated outcroppings of limestone as ‘evolutionary laboratories,’ where organisms have evolved for millions of years independently of each other. Among…

‘The best camera to ever exist’: Artemis II crew to study the Moon’s surface mainly with their eyes |

Nasa’s Artemis II astronauts, on a historic journey to the Moon, will study its surface with what lead scientist Kelsey Young calls “the best camera that could ever or will ever exist”—their own eyes. As of early Sunday, the four-member crew, comprising three Americans, commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch—and Canadian…
